I think I come in somewhere just between the two of you... in age.  And what exactly do you mean, whipper snapper... like hate or date??  I just like the zippy little yellow car going around the race track after the guys with the fellows with the funny accents 'splaned things.

I dunno.... I pretty much tried to kill my hip with that bus.  :D :D :D :D



That was a joke..... get it?  :P :P :P



Not hip my ass. I don't care who you are.... you ride a CB. That's good enough for me. #$%* I'll even ride with Ed just because I can. 8)

It was an online rating thing not too long ago... people would post pictures and you'd select hate or date.
Meh.... gets lame after the first couple of pages. Yes I checked it out.... I get bored at work.  :-[ No really..... I do.

And how old are you exactly? I'm just north of 1700. You can't be older than me. Just can't.  :-*

i wouldn't go that far; it's 1962 for me when girls had capri pants and flat tops (hair cut) were still cool.  ;D

That guy is insane.. I'd imagine getting the tail out in a rear engined car would be a pretty unsettling experience the first few times. Look at his arms! He has to really man handle that thing through some of the corners.
